Get G search query for dynamic tracking id using PHP

Shirley7788 · Dec 17, 2009

I want to make my .php link (direct to my aff link) on my LP has dynamic tracking id base on google search query, how can I do that?

example:
search: lose weight
the tracking id become loseweight (better if you can spin it like losew, lw,lweight,lewt)

What I'm currently doing is as below (I'm having problem

)

Top of wordpress post:
<?php $seedvar=$_GET['q'];?>

on LP:
<a href="http://mydomain.com/afflinkredirect.php?id=<?php echo $seedvar;?>">

redirect .php:
<?php
header('Location:http://aff.vendor.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=.$_GET['id']');
exit();
?>

I'm totally noob in coding, just following some example and some trial (no luck and go nuts

). Can somebody kindly help me on this?

P/S: I got this error

1)
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/username/public_html/mydomain.com/recommends/mybestrecommendonEARTH.php on line 2

2)
somehow the link on LP show
http://mydomain.com/afflinkredirect.php?id=
which is blank after id, I thought it would "scrape" the ?q=lose+weight from google search string?

No, it will not get the ?q=lose+weight from Google. You can get that parameters only on your script. You will need to find another solution for that.

You can get this from data from Referer.

This is the code I'm using now after I done more researching, is any problem inside there?

THE PROBLEM:
When using aff.vendor.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=<?php echo $keywords;?>
the $keywords won't show, just
aff.vendor.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=

I also tried $keywords[0] after I realized $explode the keyword (more than one word) make it an array.

PHP:

<?php
function getReferalHost()  
{  
    $refer = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);  
    $host = $refer['host'];  
      
    if(strstr($host,'google'))  
    {  
        return 'Google';  
    }
}

function getKeywords()  
{  
    $refer = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);  
    $host = $refer['host'];  
    $refer = $refer['query'];  
      
    if(strstr($host,'google'))  
    {  
        //do google stuff  
        $match = preg_match('/&q=([a-zA-Z0-9+-]+)/',$refer, $output);  
        $querystring = $output;  
        $querystring = str_replace('&q=','',$querystring);  
        $keywords = explode('+',$querystring);  
        return $keywords;}}
?>

P/S: Testing is done through, search on google, click and check is the tid working.

PHP:

<?php

function GetKeywords()
{
$url=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$arr = parse_url($url); 

$host = $arr['host']; 
if(strstr($host,'google'))  
    {
    $parameters = $arr["query"];
    parse_str($parameters, $data);
    $query=$data['q'];

    return explode("+", $query);  
    }
}
?>

That's a neat code!

but I wonder what should I put after /?tid= ?

edit: Is it
/?tid=<?php echo $query; ?>
OR
/?tid=<?php echo $query[0]; ?>

the part after tid= still blank

cyklotrial · Dec 17, 2009

It depends...

If the user searched: how to lose weight, and u want to use same query as a tid. Than this line in my code:

PHP:

return explode("+", $query);

should look like that:

PHP:

return $query;

And usage:

PHP:

<?php echo GetKeywords(); ?>

But if u want do something with searched query before putting it to the link
this line is ok:

PHP:

return explode("+", $query);

It's returning each single word from searched query in single cell in array (function is returning array).

Example usage:

PHP:

<?php
$keywords=GetKeywords(); 
/*now $keywords is array with word's from searched query*/

for ($i = 0; $i < count($keywords); $i++)
   {
    echo $keywords[$i]."< /br>";
   }
/*this will display every word from searched query in new line*/
?>

Thanks for your quick response, now I know how they work and perhaps I can tweak them a little, 7hours of php tutorial was finished!:sombrero:

I'm like hit the jackpot now because before that I can't see anything but blank after id everytime I click into my website.

Sorry I cannot hit thanks button twice.
